  1. Re:Story of Duke Nukem Forever? on 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does anyone here know the story of why Duke Nukem Forever has become vaporware? I'm interested in the seedy underbelly of the gaming industry.

    Well, after Duke 3D, Duke made the time to play with himself... too much time.

    I know that my father for one prefers yahoo!. When I try and make him use google by setting it as the homepage, he complains that it takes forever to load.

    ``Dad, it's done loading.''

    ``Well, where is everything.''

    ``That is everything.''

    ``Change it back''

    Anyone else think the disruption is a bit out of place in their motto? I know it caused me to read it twice, which is perhaps what they want.

    As for Elliptic Curve Cryptography as mentioned in this article - it's still in its infancy - at least compared to other ciphers. This is just a stupid publicity show. But I bet I can win that $1M with an investment of under $20.

    How about I provide the financial backing for your plan and we split the profit.

  9. Driving Test Story on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 4, Funny

    I could have used that on my driver's test. I was doing great on my driving test until I got to the parallel parking bit.

    Picture this, an empty suburban street. Just one car parked on the road. All I have to do is park behind it. 10 min later, my car is about 6 feet away from the curb, at a 30 degree angle.

    The woman giving me the test looked over the brim of her glasses and said, ``You want to try that again honey?''

    I wanted to say no, because I was actually rather proud of how close I had gotten that time.

    But, I tried again, with the same result.

    ``Why don't we move on.'' She said.

    In the end, she passed me, but with the words, ``You're a very cautious driver, but the worst parallel parker I've seen in my entire career.''

    Beginning tomorrow, more than a dozen Web sites, including MSN, ESPN, Lycos and iVillage, will run full-motion video commercials from Pepsi, AT&T, Honda, Vonage and Warner Brothers, in a six-week test that some analysts and online executives say could herald the start of a new era of Internet advertising.

    There is a revolt over popups. Who thinks this is a good time for full-motion commercials? What kind of reaction are they expecting from the public on this one?
